At least A's aren't caught in Miami vise
A's ownership could learn from Marlins ownership on how not to run a baseball team.
Jeffrey Loria, the man who ran baseball into the ground in two countries, continues to bungle his business and make fans turn away from the game despite an economic climate in which owners receive unprecedented revenues and profits.
Why Loria, the Marlins' owner, isn't forced from the game like ex-Dodgers owner Frank McCourt is alarming, considering the damage he has done wherever he goes. In Miami, just like Montreal, where he ruined any last hope to maintain big-league baseball, he talks big and looks small.
After convincing taxpayers to pay for most of the Marlins' $634 million stadium, Loria did what he does best - perform a salary dump, just like in Montreal and after the 2003 Marlins won the World Series with players he inherited.
Within one year of opening the park, after promising to spend money to be competitive, Loria dumped most of his top players, giving up on his team and fan base while assuring himself of excessive proceeds through revenue sharing.
Say what you want about A's owners John Fisher and Lew Wolff and their pursuit of San Jose. They haven't done two things that Loria has: professed to know more about baseball than baseball people (in that regard, Wolff defers to Billy Beane) and threatened to bolt from the region (as Loria did in two locales).
The A's talk of privately financing their park, a no-no for Loria, who's Charlie Finley without the baseball mind.
If the A's ever get a new park, whether it's San Jose or Oakland or Cotati, it's advisable not to follow Loria's plan of spending all at once for a beefed-up roster and minutes later proclaiming "whoops" and destroying it.
This week, he wrote a letter to fans blaming everyone but himself and announced he'd refuse to negotiate a long-term deal with outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, the Marlins' only remaining attraction.
Life is good for the A's. They're not owned by Loria.

Lander University associate professor of music Dr. Robert Kelley makes a point to Kelsie Burgin, of Abbeville, about the piece that she's playing with professor emeritus of music Dr. Anthony Lenti (at other piano), as Joseph Chabek, of Anderson; Kevin Baggett, of Greenwood; Haley Shelton, of Ninety Six; Matt Miller, of Greenwood; and Markela Dandy, of Graniteville, look on.
Lander University professor emeritus of music Dr. Anthony Lenti and associate professor of music Dr. Robert Kelley invite the public to Lander's 2012 Piano Ensemble Concert, at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 15, in the Josephine B. Abney Cultural Center Auditorium.
The event is an annual presentation of the piano ensemble class taught by Lenti and Kelley.
This year's event will showcase the talents of Matt Miller, of Greenwood; Tyler Lambert, of Chapin; Joseph Chabek, of Anderson, Kelsie Burgin, of Abbeville; Haley Shelton, of Ninety Six; Brandon Hipkins, of Fort Mill; Markela Dandy, of Graniteville and Kevin Baggett, of Greenwood. Lenti and Kelley will also play, as will professional pianist and organist Carol Johnson and Lander music graduates Anne-Marie Kemp and Kelly Hammond.
The class exists to give pianists, whom Lenti called "essentially solitary folks," the "opportunity to make music with others." Audience members will be treated to performances which include two players at one piano, two players at two pianos and four players at two pianos.
Playing with another person, as Lenti puts it, "is one thing. Playing with three other people at one time is an entirely different skill."
The concert, which is free, will feature works by such diverse musicians as French composer Jacques Ibert; Austrian composer Anton Diabelli; Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev; Czech composer Antonin Dvorak; French composer Maurice Ravel; and Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
One of the highlights will be an arrangement for two pianos of American composer George Gershwin's "Three Preludes for Piano," featuring Lenti with Chabek, Shelton and Miller. Lenti and Kelley will play two parts of Ravel's "Mother Goose Suite," and Kelley and Burgin will offer an interpretation of Ibert's "The Little White Donkey."
Also notable is the finale, a waltz by German-Jewish composer Moritz Moskowski, which will be performed by four players at two pianos. Lenti called it a "wonderful exploitation of the resources of the piano," featuring "lyrical melodies, big masses of sound, rhythmic verve, elegance."

Google has a fantastic history, which revolutionized the web. It is still contributing to web innovations by developing HTML5 and other languages.
Interesting timeline indeed, thanks for putting it together. Had forgotten all about the BackRub story. While I was around "back then" and tipping my toes into the Internet waters all I used was the search engine functionality and the other stuff not until much later. And as for search engines we all used Yahoo, Altavista, Lycos and Google was a "runner-up" at the beginning. And for the life of me I can't remember when that changed and it sort of became habitual to try BigG first ...
Timeline of Google looks so good and very impressive. Google has made a very good impact in everyone's life. Tremendous achievement. :)

#Roommates, we are sad to report that Nigerian singer Alizee Nielsen and her 4-year-old daughter were tragically killed.
According to The Guardian , their bodies were found in their Banana Island home in Lagos yesterday, and Alizee's husband (a Danish citizen living in Nigeria) was arrested and accused of taking both of their lives.
Lagos State Police confirmed that he is now in police custody and an investigation has begun. "The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, has ordered the arrest of the suspect and he is in police custody. It is pre-emptive now to ascertain the cause of the incident," public relations officer, SP Chike Oti, said in a statement. "The CP has dispatched crime scene investigators to the place to pick evidences for analysis which can be used for prosecution. The command has also written the Embassy of the suspect that the police are investigating the case."
Alizee was just 29 years old.
Her management, Petra Entertainment, released the following statement in response to the sad news:
"While we exercise restraint in making public comments on the circumstances surrounding the demise of Alizee and her daughter, – in order not to prejudices on-going police investigations – it has become important to correct some misinformation presently circulating in the media space. In this regard, we state that the husband of the late Nielsen Zainab Joy who is also the father of the late Nielsen Petra is Nielsen Peter Schau. Nielsen Peter Schau is a Danish citizen and not an Italian or Asian as has been reported by several media outlets."
"We call all law enforcement agencies to speedily unravel the circumstances surrounding the demise of these vibrant Nigerians and bring all complicit persons and/or entities to justice. In the light of reports suggesting that Alizee's husband may be under Police investigation in connection with these painful deaths, We particularly call on the Nigerian immigration Services to remain vigilant at this time and urge the cooperation of all foreign missions in the country. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the relatives of the late Zainab and Petra."

text: Manage Field Variation November 12, 2013 06:02 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Julie (Douglas) Deering Top Producer Managing Editor Email The Return on Investment Proves Worthwhile Technological advancements in today's machinery and data applications take managing zones to a new level of sophistication where the return on investment is undeniable, especially as margins begin to tighten. Zone management is a great investment to improve input efficiency, says Brian Arnall, Oklahoma State University precision nutrient management expert. "Zones should continually change based on the input being applied," he says. "Once farmers start managing zones and see the benefits, they never go back." As fertilizer prices have skyrocketed, grain prices have increased and overall input costs have jumped, farmers are starting to see the value in zone management, Arnall explains, noting that it's one tool in your toolbox to help control costs. Joe Sullivan farms corn and soybeans near Franklin, Minn., and uses zones to manage the variability in his fields. He's been using this technique for four years and says that the time and energy he's invested in developing the field zones, as well as the technology, are definitely worth it. Season-Long Savings. Sullivan uses variable-rate fertilizer and custom hires the application of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen to his field zones. He also uses variable-rate planting population. Prior to making the switch to zones, Sullivan planted seeds at a uniform rate of 32,000 seeds per acre. Today, his population varies from 18,000 seeds per acre to 42,000 seeds per acre. "My seed costs have actually gone up, because I'm trying to push my most productive areas harder," he says. "In the areas planted with 18,000 seeds, my yields are about 100 bu. per acre to 120 bu. per acre. In the areas with 42,000 seeds, my yields are pushing 230 bu. to 240 bu. per acre." While Sullivan's seed costs have increased, his yields have remained the same, which he attributes to bad weather. "We've dealt with everything from hail to drought the last few years," Sullivan says, noting that he's ready for a "more normal" year. However, Sullivan's nitrogen costs have gone down as efficiency has gone up. "I used to apply 164 lb. of nitrogen per acre," he says. "With variable-rate nitrogen, we apply 150 lb. of nitrogen, on average." Sullivan explains that his soils are comprised of about 3% to 5% organic matter, which means that his soils can handle the higher planting populations. Sullivan says he's like any farmer. "I've got good spots, and I've got bad spots, and it can all be in the same strip," he explains. "Zone management helps us make sure that we don't put too many seeds in soil that can't support it." Optimize Profits. One thing that Sullivan battles is iron deficiency chlorosis. To help, he uses a product called Soygreen, which is about $8 per pound. If Sullivan uniformly applied this product at the recommended 2 lb. per acre, he would spend $16 per acre, just to manage iron availability. By using zones to apply the right amount on the right acre, Sullivan maximizes the crop's potential. In the spots that need it most, he'll apply 3 lb. to 3.5 lb. This technique has cut his costs by about half. For a 100-acre field, Sullivan saves $800. "I got my investment back within one year, just for the Soygreen application," Sullivan says, noting that he already had the technology, but just wasn't using it to capacity. Sullivan's zones are based off of soil type and years of yield data. His management strategy might be different than most. "I look more at how to optimize each acre instead of how to equalize," he explains. "Most try to increase the lowest yielding areas of their field, but I try to look at how I can be most efficient with inputs on every acre." Data Supports. Under the leadership of Raj Khosla, Colorado State University Extension precision ag specialist, an economic feasibility study was done. In the 2004 study, farmers who used site-specific management zones compared to uniform-rate application saved from $7.50 to $17 per acre in nitrogen costs alone, Khosla says. With today's cost of nitrogen at about $650 per ton, that savings jumps to about $30 per acre to more than $50 or $60 per acre, he says. Many farmers already have the technology at their fingertips; they just need to sit down and create their zone maps, Khosla explains.

The Cannelton Library's recent decision to pursue a merger with the Tell City-Perry County Library is good news for patrons of both in the short term, but there could be problems in the future.
Both library buildings would remain open, and patrons of each would have access to all the volumes of both. Though the Tell City library is larger, each has some books that the other does not. So that means patrons of both libraries would have more choices of reading material.
Funding for both libraries comes entirely from the state and, like many other state agencies, both were facing budget cuts. Cannelton already struggles to add more volumes and maintain employee hours.
The budget cuts for the smaller Cannelton Library were so severe that it would likely have to close without the merger. So it was the Cannelton Library — not Tell City — that sought the merger.
Sally Walker, director of the Cannelton Library, said, "During a recent visit to the library, State Rep. Russ Stilwell stated that under the current economic conditions, (state) revenues will continue to decline and that the library has a choice — merge with Tell City-Perry County Library or close. Our only option for survival is to merge."
Walker also stressed, "A merger would not force the library facility in Cannelton to close. A merger would result in the Cannelton Public Library and the Tell City-Perry County Library being two units of a larger county library system. A branch will continue to be operated in Cannelton. Perry County residents would be able to use the more convenient location."
Again that sounds good for patrons of both, and if that remains the case for many years to come, both will benefit. And it would be good to see the two communities cooperate on a venture that helps both.
But what if state revenues remain low for the next few years, library budgets are cut even more, and eventually the board of the merged libraries can no longer afford to keep both facilities staffed? In that case the smaller Cannelton facility would undoubtedly be the one that would close.
If that happens, will Cannelton residents remember that it was Cannelton that sought the merger and that the Cannelton Library would have closed years earlier without the merger? Or will they incorrectly think that Tell City forced the merger and it was merely a ploy to close the Cannelton library?
At a Nov. 3 meeting between some members of the two library boards to discuss the merger resolution, Tell City board member Colleen Smith raised some of those concerns. "What happens if we determine that we can't keep the additional employees (at Cannelton) based on the funds we have and have to close the building up there and have the bookmobile visit?" she asked.
Jeff Fuqua, a member of the Cannelton board, replied that he doesn't think anyone expects this to be "the solution for the next 150 years." But if it will keep the Cannelton building open "for the foreseeable future, I am inclined to say this has been a good step forward."
So both sides seem to be going into the merger discussions with their eyes wide open as to what all their options are.
We hope that remains the case and that if the merger is finalized, it works well for both.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday said he has scheduled an initial vote for Thursday on a controversial gun control bill that is in reaction to December's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school.
Reid, however, said he does not know if he will be able to attract the 60 votes necessary to overcome procedural hurdles from senators opposed to gun control.
In the meantime, some senators are trying to reach a bipartisan compromise on background checks for gun buyers, which could help build support for the measure.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 12 new Solar America Cities, bringing the number from 13 to 25 in total, and moving along the $2.4 million initiative to provide up to $200,000 per city to build solid solar infrastructures. The announcement came at the New Frontiers in Energy Summit 2008 in Denver, Colorado, which is among the 2008 Solar America Initiative (SAI) cities. The overall program goals are to facilitate adoption of solar technology by individuals and businesses and to make solar electricity from photovoltaics a cost-competitive energy choice by 2015.
The newly selected Solar America Cities are Denver, Colorado; Houston, Texas; Knoxville, Tennessee; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Minneapolis – St. Paul, Minnesota; Orlando, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; San Antonio, Texas; Seattle, Washington; and three cities in California including San Jose, Santa Rosa and Sacramento. Chosen for their commitment to developing ways to implement solar technologies citywide, these cities will receive funding and technical support from DOE experts – an additional $3 million is slated for technical support on top of the programs $2.4 million budget.
In relative terms, the project funding is quite small considering the size of the cities and the costs of solar equipment in today's market. However, combined efforts from the DOE, industry cost share and funding from each chosen city is estimated at $12.1 million for the whole initiative. Starts to add up. And the program is a big step in the right direction especially considering the geographical diversity of the municipalities, which are spread coast to coast.
With the DOE's support, cities can also develop solar financing options and incentive programs. Earlier this year one of the 2007 Solar America Cities, Tuscon, AZ, approved a plan to help residents off set the initial cost of solar photovoltaic systems by providing 20-year funding to homeowners to install solar panels and pay for them in their property-tax bills. Enabling these kinds of individual applications for solar thermal and solar photovoltaic, as well as tagging funds for large-scale industrial projects, is definitely making the renewable energy sector in the states grow a lot sunnier.
The 12 new Solar America Cities join the 13 2007 SAI cities including Ann Arbor, Michigan; Austin, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; Madison, Wisconsin; New Orleans, Louisiana; New York City; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Portland, Oregon; Salt Lake City, Utah; Tucson, Arizona; and three California cities – Berkeley, San Diego, and San Francisco. The Solar America Cities First Annual Meeting is set for April 14 to 16 in Tucson, Arizona.

Caleb Hanie was understandably respectful Wednesday. Mike Martz knows better than he does, Hanie said of the plays he is asked to execute, three of which turned into interceptions.
Jay Cutler, meanwhile, was remarkably protective of the player replacing him while he rehabs a broken thumb. Martz has to be careful with Hanie, Cutler said of the plays the new, inexperienced starter is asked to execute.
Specifically, Cutler said, "We have to be really careful with what kind of situations we put him in. Mike has to be careful with that. We really don't know what Caleb is comfortable with. Caleb doesn't know what he's comfortable with because he hasn't run a lot of these plays … in a high-pressure situation.''
On the one hand, Martz has to make some seemingly bad calls if he and Hanie are going to find out what plays he executes well. That's part of the pain with this situation. The Bears have to call a variety of plays so they know what plays they just can't call anymore.
For instance, we can check that throwback screen off the bucket list. The slant, though, that's a keeper. The Raiders believed it enough that Hanie was able to sell the fake slant, then hand off on a draw that worked. Hanie also looked more comfortable reading the high-low crossing patterns that is standard Martz and resulted in Kellen Davis open in the end zone for a touchdown.
On the other hand, Cutler's caveat is well taken. The guy has experience with Martz's play-calling.
Specifically, the guy has experience with Martz's belief that the players are expected to execute the ludicrous.
One example: Martz's seven-game insistence on seven-step drops that were murdering Cutler last season.
Another example: That silly end-around call to the slowest end on the Bears less than 30 yards from the end zone in the dying seconds of the NFC Championship Game.
Martz blamed the players' execution on the Earl Bennett end-around, just as he blamed Hanie's execution on the silly throwback screen that changed Sunday's game in Oakland. Martz said screens are good plays and that particular screen is one that has always worked.
Well, no. It hasn't. Martz wears that one, whether he knows it or not. It's not always the players' fault, not when Cutler can't run that play any better than Hanie.
Point is, Martz usually has the players at fault for his most ludicrous calls, an it sounds like at least one player --- the key player even when he's not playing --- is tired of that crud.
Connecting the dots here: Martz was putting that play and probably others on Hanie before either of them met the media Wednesday, and Cutler knew it before he met the media Wednesday, which explains why the guy with the thumb in a cast wagged the big verbal finger. Be careful with the backup, Cutler fired off publicly to Martz, sounding like a big brother taking care of Junior. You want Hanie, you have to go through me.
Good for Cutler. His caveat born out of experience with some Martz lunacy also smacks of Cutler's growing leadership. It sounds as if it doesn't matter whether Cutler is playing, he's still trying to take ownership of the game plan and protect the offense from the offensive coordinator.

Israeli tanks and troops moved toward the Gaza Strip on Thursday night in apparent preparation for a possible invasion of the crowded seaside enclave after a day of violence that included two militant rocket strikes on the southern suburbs of Tel Aviv, raising the likelihood that the region was on the brink of all-out war.
A day after Israeli aircraft and warships retaliated for hundreds of rockets fired into the country in recent weeks by striking scores of targets in Gaza in the biggest Israeli military operation in four years, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak summoned more than 30,000 reservists to military duty. Barak said the order was intended to make Israel "ready for any development."
Those soldiers could be seen from the Israeli city of Kiriyat Malachi, 20 miles north of Gaza, massing and heading toward the border, even as officials indicated that the decision to invade hadn't yet been made.
"We have made the preparations, and entering is certainly an option," said a senior Israeli military official based in southern Israel, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity under the military's ground rules. "If the politicians were looking for an excuse, Hamas gave them one."
That was a reference to rockets fired by militants in Gaza that struck neighborhoods across the southern Tel Aviv metropolis, the first time Palestinian rockets had reached the densely populated urban center where more than 40 percent of Israelis live.
No one was injured in the strikes on Tel Aviv, but three people died in Kiriyat Malachi when a militant's rocket struck a four-story building.
The possibility of all-out war alarmed countries across the globe. Egypt's Islamist government said Prime Minister Hesham Kandil would visit Gaza on Friday in a show of solidarity with Hamas and ordered the border crossing at Rafah opened around the clock to allow wounded Gazans to seek medical care in Egypt. Gaza's Hamas leaders said offers of assistance were pouring in from throughout the Arab world.
The United States expressed support for Israel and blamed Hamas for triggering the violence by allowing militants to fire rockets into Israel. President Barack Obama spoke with Egypt's Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, and urged him to broker a cease-fire. Hamas considers itself a close ally of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, of which Morsi was a leading member before he assumed the presidency.
France, too, sought to broker peace between the two sides, with the country's prime minister saying that President Francois Hollande had been in touch with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Morsi. The prime minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, called the violence "dangerous for the security" of both Israelis and Palestinians, according to news reports.
Morsi sided with Hamas, saying, "The Israelis must realize that this aggression is unacceptable and would only lead to instability in the region and would negatively and greatly impact the security of the region."
On the streets of Tel Aviv, there was a new sense of vulnerability, even though police said the two rockets that landed here had done so harmlessly, one falling into the water just off the beach in the Tel Aviv neighborhood of Jaffa, and the other striking a field near the town of Rishon Lezion. Still, for many who'd thought they lived in areas of the country safe from attack from Gaza militants the sound of air raid warnings brought a new sense of dread.
Israelis strolling along the beach promenade in Tel Aviv went sprawling into the sand in search of cover as police warned that they had less then 90 seconds from the sound of the first siren before a rocket was expected to land.
Police and military officials said they hadn't confirmed what type of rocket had managed to span the more then 40 miles between the Gaza Strip and the Tel Aviv area. But suspicion fell on Iranian-made Fajr missiles, which Israeli officials say Hamas militants have smuggled into Gaza in recent months.
That prospect made it more likely that Israel would send troops into Gaza as it became obvious that Israeli airstrikes on more than 70 missile-launching sites had failed to curb Hamas' ability to strike.
Hostilities between Israel and Gaza have increased steadily since Tuesday morning, when Israeli planes hit targets across Gaza and assassinated Hamas' top military leader, Ahmed Jabari.
At least 15 people have died in Gaza since the bombing began and hundreds have been wounded. Residents of Gaza City reported that the streets were empty as Palestinians took cover wherever they could.
Plumes of smoke above Gaza were laced with the trails of outgoing rockets, many of which exploded in midair as Israel's Iron Dome missile-defense system intercepted them.
Most in Gaza stayed indoors, keeping children away from windows and rooftops as Israeli planes and drones could be heard circling overhead.
Ali Dawoudi, a 28-year-old resident of Gaza City, said residents of Gaza already felt as if the Palestinians and the Israelis were at war. He complained that the conflict was an unbalanced one.
"You are not talking about two countries," he said. "You are talking about a group fighting a huge country like Israel."
Dr. Hasan Khalaf, the director of Shifa Hospital, Gaza's largest, said it no longer was treating people with non-serious wounds and was running low on supplies.
"We have had over 150 injuries and 15 killed," he said. "We do not have room anymore for the lighter injuries. We are sending people home to make room for the more serious injuries."
Israeli warplanes were hitting a wide range of targets, reports indicated. Three people reportedly were killed when a missile struck their car. Another report said Israeli missiles had struck an electricity plant that fed power to the home of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
Special correspondent Amina Ismail contributed to this report from Cairo.

You might have missed it during the official announcement, since Amazon neglected to mention it, but the new Kindle Fire lineup will include lockscreen ads to help offset those rock bottom prices they are charging for the hardware.
I'm sure many users don't particularly care what is on their lock screen, however, there was a bit of a hue and cry from users that don't want to see an ad for "50 Shades of Grey" bouncing around their screen every time they power their Fire on.
Well, the good news is that Amazon has confirmed in an email to one such concerned customer that you will be able to opt out of these "special offers."
Special Offers appear directly on your Kindle Fire. Offers appear on your lock screen, and you can also view offers from the Home screen by tapping Offers. By delivering these offers to your Kindle Fire, Amazon is able to sell it for a lower price.
I understand that you would like to opt out of the special offer and willing to pay extra for opting out special offer. Options for unsubscribing special offer will be announced soon.
To ensure the utmost attention, I've also passed your message on to the appropriate people in our company. We value customer feedback such as yours as it helps us continue to improve the service and selection we provide.Customer SupportAmazon
The caveat is, of course, that it will certainly come at a price. The e-ink Kindle that allows users to pay $30 to "unsubscribe" from special offers. No word yet on whether that pricing will be the same for the Kindle Fire line.
Does this make you any more likely to pre-order, or were you not that worried about the lock screen ads to begin with? What do you think is a fair price for dispensing with the ads?
Update: CNET and now Engadget have received responses from Amazon indicating that there will be no way to disable the "Special Offers" on the Kindle Fire. It's a surprising change from their earlier policies and I could certainly see this being a sticking point for some buyers.
Update 2: Amazon is going to need to police up their PR folk a bit as they have made what we are assuming is the final reversal on this matter. Users will be given the opportunity to opt out of the "Special Offers" and it will only set you back $15. So after all of the shenanigans I have to say Amazon came up with what seems like a very fair offer for ad averse future Kindle Fire owners.

Google Summer of Code 2012 Project Ideas
Please see the Google Summer of Code 2012 for examples of project ideas.
Project Ideas
Please organise your project idea into a category below. Feel free to create new categories if needed.
Core Clojure
Brief explanation: ClojureScript is in constant need of further optimization and optimizations which are likely to deliver across all the major JavaScript implementations. We need to assess the corners of ClojureScript which seem to lag too far behind Clojure on the JVM and see what can be done. This includes but is not limited to improvements to persistent data structures, function invocation, the EDN reader, and to code size. It would be extremely desirable to generalize the ad-hoc benchmarking that is in currently in place. A web based tool that graphs changes over time that continually run the tests a la Are We Fast Yet? would be extremely beneficial - we imagine highlighting changesets that cause regression with links to GitHub, etc.
Expected results: Improved performance and comprehensive benchmark suite that is available on and offline.
Knowledge prerequistes: A JavaScript performance nut. Experience with Clojure.
Difficulty: Medium
Mentor: David Nolen
Source Maps
Brief explanation: ClojureScript debugging is still significantly harder than it should be. Source Maps would greatly alleviate the difficultly. A considerable amount of work has been done, but there is more to do during emission in the compiler before the source maps we generate will be truly accurate. Even after Source Maps work, there's the question of step-by-step debugging. Perhaps it's possible to do this via a mixture of source maps and something via the Remote Debugging Protocol in Chrome. We could even imagine editing ClojureScript source in Chrome.
Expected results: Accurate source mapping in browsers that support.
Knowledge prerequistes: A JavaScript & Programming languages nut. Experience with Clojure.
Difficulty: Medium
Mentor: David Nolen
Extending dogfort for real world use
Brief explanation: Node.js provides a lightweight and fast server implementation, that's commonly used for real time applications. Although its possible to make clojurescript applications targeting nodejs, the current experience is far from pleasant. Partly due to node's heavy use of callback hell, and partly because most existing node libraries are heavily object oriented and imperative. Dogfort (https://github.com/bodil/dogfort) is a nice proof of concept , inspired by ring and compojure, that abstracts out quite a few of these issues.
- sessions
- cookies
- authentication middleware
- route filtering middleware
Mentor: Bodil Stokke
refactor and documentation
Brief explanation: core.match provides ML & Racket style extensible pattern matching to Clojure & ClojureScript. The project is in need of refactoring and extensive internal documentation. In order to aid debugging the pattern matrix transformations, a tool for stepping through the pattern compilation process would be very desirable.
Expected results: An core.match with fewer bugs and a code base that welcomes internal contributions and simplifies external extensions.
Knowledge prerequisites: Familiarity with at least one functional programming language that includes pattern matching as a feature.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
Mentor: David Nolen
CLP(FD) enhancements
Brief explanation: core.logic now ships with a basic support for efficient constraint logic programming over finite domains. However this work could be taken considerably further. For example new constraints could be added that would allow core.logic to solve FD equations much, much more efficiently. It's also not clear precisely what kinds of classic FD problems core.logic excels at and on which ones we perform poorly on. It would be informative to take the problems found in mature solvers like GeCode and port them over to core.logic so a more disciplined comparison could be made. It would also be interesting to discover if core.logic can be made to defer FD constraint solving to external solvers like GeCode or JaCoP if that is desirable to the user.
Expected results: Improved performance and benchmark suite.
Knowledge prerequistes: Experience with Clojure, though significant functional experience in Common Lisp, Scheme, Racket, Haskell, OCaml, Scala is OK too if Clojure experience is lacking. Experience with Prolog or another language that supports constraint solving well is a big plus.
Difficulty: Hard
Mentor: David Nolen
Brief explanation: CLP(Set) would greatly widen the applicability of using core.logic for various forms of static analysis. It would also make core.logic programming more natural for more kinds of problems for Clojure programmers.
Expected results: Basic support for CLP(Set). If CLP(Set) work begins in earnest by core.logic developers, we expect the student to tackle the various significant subproblems we expect to encounter.
Knowledge prerequistes: Experience with Clojure, though significant functional experience in Common Lisp, Scheme, Racket, Haskell, OCaml, Scala is OK too if Clojure experience is lacking. Experience with Prolog or another language that supports constraint solving well is a big plus.
Difficulty: Hard
Mentor: David Nolen
Brief explanation: core.logic with probabilistic programming features would be a powerful extension to core.logic with a high degree of real world applicability.
Expected results: Basic support of CLP(Prob).
Knowledge prerequistes: Experience with Clojure, though significant functional experience in Common Lisp, Scheme, Racket, Haskell, OCaml, Scala is OK too if Clojure experience is lacking. Experience with Prolog or another language that supports constraint solving well is a big plus.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
Mentor: David Nolen
Enhancing Clooj IDE
Brief explanation: Clooj (https://github.com/arthuredelstein/clooj) is already a good IDE for Clojure beginners to start with, if they do not already have a preferred development tool set. It is the easiest to install. There are ideas for enhancements in the Issues tab of the project.
Expected results: An enhanced version of Clooj that fixes existing issues, adds new features, etc.
Knowledge prerequisites: The student would need to know or learn Clojure, and something about GUI development using Java Swing, the GUI library currently used by Swing.
Mentor: Arthur Edelstein, the developer of Clooj, would be an ideal mentor, if he has the time and interest in doing so. No one has yet approached him with this possibility that I am aware of.
Type Systems
Improve and document core.typed
Brief explanation: Optional type systems are more effective when only a small subset of code needs to be tailored to its needs (3-6%). Currently several important Clojure idioms are not understood by core.typed.
Documentation for core.typed is sparse, making the transition to it much harder than necessary for users.
Expected results:
Type check more expressions and idioms:
Knowledge prerequisites:
Mentor: David Nolen
Student: Ambrose Bonnaire-Sergeant
Previous GSoC Student Partiticipation: Typed Clojure (GSoC 2012, Clojure organisation)
Mentor-Student relationship:
Improve local type inference in core.typed (via Alms) Brief explanation: Local type inference in core.typed (aka. Typed Clojure) is based on Pierce and Turner's Local Type Inference. LTI's strength is in its simplicity, but the authors note that squeezing just a little more inference adds significant complexity to the implementation. A particularly annoying prerequisite is that LTI requires that all function arguments be annotated with a static type. Alms is a new language most notably featuring affine types. It includes a novel implementation of local type inference that can infer more accurate types for some function arguments. The algorithm is described in Chapter 6 of Jesse A. Tov's PhD dissertation. The algorithm used for local type inference in Alms could be applied to core.typed Expected results: ? (Prototype, document, evidence of incompatibility) Knowledge prerequisites: Difficulty: High.

People acquire the skills they use at work informally — talking, observing others, trial-and-error, and simply working with people in the know. Formal training and workshops account for only 5% to 20% of what people learn from experience and interactions.
Order the Informal Learning book or read a summary or download the Informal Learning Poster.
What is Informal Learning? Informal learning is the unofficial, unscheduled, impromptu way most people learn to do their jobs. Informal learning is like riding a bicycle: the rider chooses the destination and the route. The cyclist can take a detour at a moment's notice to admire the scenery or help a fellow rider.
Most corporations over-invest in formal training while leaving the more natural, simple ways we learn to chance. This is foolish, for there are many ways to encourage informal learning and they boost the bottom line.

Mother cats teach their kittens to inhibit biting, so kittens removed from mom at a young age may nip more. Encourage acceptable behavior by offering toys to pounce on instead.read more
Are you feeding your cat age-appropriate food? As a general rule, cats are considered to be mature when they reach 7 to 8 years of age, and true seniors at age 11. Although 8 might seem like a young age to change the food of a cat that's still active, playful and not yet overweight, experts say that looks can be deceiving. "Aging brings with it physiological changes. Some are obvious; others are not," says Dr. Amy Dicke, an Ohio-based veterinarian and a technical services veterinarian for Iams who specializes in diet and nutrition. "Skin and hair coat changes may be obvious, while lean muscle mass loss and digestive or immune system failing may be less evident or hidden. Changes also include joint/mobility/flexibility concerns and oral health."
Food for Mature Cats: What to Look For
Some cat foods tailored to seniors may offer lower calorie levels, which are appropriate for an assumed decrease in activity. But Dicke says that if your cat's activity level remains relatively unchanged, you should look for a food for active older cats that provides enough calories and addresses the physiological changes happening inside.
Ingredients to look for include: antioxidants, such as vitamin E, to help support waning immune system function; glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health; sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) for dental health; and prebiotics, like fructooligosaccharide (FOS), to support the digestive system. "A prebiotic fiber selectively feeds beneficial bacteria in the gut and starves the bad bacteria," says Dicke. "This can create an optimal environment in the gut, promote better digestion and actually have an influence on the immune system, as 70 percent of the immune system is located in the digestive tract."
The right protein is another important factor at this age, according to Dr. Katy Nelson, a veterinarian basted in Alexandria, Va. "Moderate levels of high-quality protein, low carbohydrate percentage, low fat if choosing canned, and a low sodium diet is recommended for seniors for heart and kidney health," says Nelson.
Look to meat-based products for a high-quality protein source. "Cats are true carnivores," says Dicke. "As they age, protein levels should be maintained to support lean muscle mass maintenance and immune system function, both of which rely on adequate protein levels."
How to Switch Foods
Both experts advise using the guidelines above as a starting point for discussions with your veterinarian, who should be involved in the decision to switch foods. From there, they suggest implementing the change slowly and gradually. Decide on a time period between seven and 10 days, and then give your cat a different mixture every few days. "The first two days, 25 percent of the current food volume should be replaced by the new food and slowly increased until your cat is eating 100 percent of the new product," says Dicke.
As your cat gets even older and goes from the mature stage to the true senior stage, you may want to switch again to a food that suits a more sedentary lifestyle. "Cats tend to sleep much more as they age, as much as 22 hours a day," says Nelson. "Therefore, their caloric requirement is basically just what their body needs to maintain function." She says that's another decision that should be made with the close supervision of your veterinarian.

I don't know what the news was in England (if you were there during Antenna-gate). HK is currently the record holder for the highest density of cell phone connections per user in the world because of the size of the city and density of cell towers. I think I read each person could have 6 individual cell connection to saturate our lines here. Antenna-gate was really more US specific media sensationalistic drama, IMO.

However, international development organizations and funding agencies have traditionally treated freshwater ecosystems and watershed management needs as distinct and separate agendas on the ground.
Conservation International and several of our partners recognize that water, poverty and environment are interconnected and that the long-term sustainability of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services depends on the health of the entire basin.
CI has more than 27 years of practical experience helping communities in developing countries demonstrate that human societies can live in harmony with nature. We believe that WASH projects play a meaningful role in improving the lives of people while also protecting freshwater-dependent species. Our goal is to increase awareness of the connection between community health and freshwater ecosystems at all levels through practical tools and on-the-ground examples — like our work in Bolivia, Colombia and Madagascar.
In December 2013, CI, The Nature Conservancy and other partners released a new publication, "Freshwater Conservation and WASH Integration Guidelines: A Framework for Implementation in sub-Saharan Africa." Funded by the United States Agency for International Development's (USAID) Bureau for Africa and the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG), the report provides guidance to health, development and conservation professionals in sub-Saharan Africa on how to plan, coordinate, develop and achieve mutually-supported WASH and freshwater conservation project outcomes.
The guidelines draw on the evidence base and lessons learned from integrated projects referenced in the 2012 ABCG publication, "Linking Biodiversity Conservation and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene: Experiences from sub-Saharan Africa," and a workshop held in May 2013 to improve the understanding of the value of integrated programs. Many WASH and conservation practitioners contributed to the development and technical review including: Absolution Options, Africa Wildlife Foundation, Catholic Relief Services, Conservation International, FHI360, Global Environment & Technology Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, Natural Resource Defense Council, Millennium Water Alliance, USAID, U.S. Forest Service, Water for People, WASH Advocates, Wetlands International, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Winrock International, World Vision and World Wildlife Fund.

At the "Heart of Route 66," in northwestern Arizona, is the rural community of Kingman. The local high school is attended by your "typical" teenagers, although some still ride their horses to and from school!
The students I work with at Kingman High School (KHS) are primarily lower income, Hispanic, and at risk of dropping out. Many of their parents have recently lost their jobs or their homes due to the economy. They feel the need to explain that this is the first time they have had to ask for help and how embarrassed they are to do so. I let them know that they are not alone and should not be embarrassed because each of us at one time or another needs a little help.
I was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona to a Hispanic father and Filipina/German-Irish mother. For 25 years, I worked as a probation officer, the majority of that time with juveniles and their families. My background has definitely been an asset as Kingman High School's Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) Coordinator and head of Student Assistance because I can easily relate to my students and their families. I am very honest about my past. When I was a teen, I caused my parents a lot of heartache. I was an "at risk" student during high school and a single parent on welfare during college. When I meet students' parents I ask them what they want for their child, and I share some of my personal experiences. I let them know that if I got a degree, their child certainly can too.
Within a week of arriving at KHS, I was asked to sponsor the Hispanic Student Union (HSU). We started with 25 members and now have 108! Students in HSU have a sense of unity and a purpose for attending school. Hispanic discipline referrals have dropped significantly. Many of my students simply need someone to listen and guide them. They know my office is a safe, judgment-free place and open to them any time. If they are hungry, they can make a peanut butter sandwich. I am warm-hearted and easygoing, but I can also be no-nonsense. If you ask any student who frequents my office what is the one word that is not allowed, they will immediately respond "hate". I try to rid them of any prejudices or misconceptions they might have for others.
I have found that teens need and actually want boundaries! They share with me their problems, concerns, and fears. I listen, and honestly answer their questions, offer suggestions. I let them know as a parent that I would want my child to come talk to me about things that worry them. Many students come back and tell me they have done this, and that it helped them connect more with their parents.
The majority of Hispanic families I work with want their children to attend college. For many families, my students will be the first to do so. I appreciate their desire to live in the U.S., and how they work hard so their children can receive a better education, and, ultimately have a better life than what they had. Don't all parents want that for their children?
The most recent challenging issue—especially with the passage of SB 1070 (Immigration bill)—is the fear of deportation. The process to obtain the paperwork to become "naturalized" is labor intensive and takes several years. Many of our students have had a parent or other family member deported. This creates financial and emotional hardship, and impacts attendance, especially when these students travel to Mexico to visit deported family members. The majority of my students have lived in the United States since they were very young. This country is their home! I don't ask my students if they are here legally because it doesn't change how I treat or help them.
It's not always possible to share the same ethnicity or culture as the students you work with. Key characteristics for building trusting, quality relationships with students and parents of a different culture—especially in a school setting—are honesty, not being afraid to ask questions, apologizing when you're wrong, and admitting you don't always have the answers. Student success often comes down to making an effort to meet the parents, and not just at parent-teacher conferences or when their child has discipline issues. I've hosted potlucks so that I can meet the parents and share a meal with them. Food is always a great ice breaker! I make it a point to say one positive thing about their student; sometimes it's several things because their kid is so awesome! I know I've established a positive rapport with parents when I see them at the grocery store or at a restaurant, and they give me a hug or tell me how they're doing.
Despite my best efforts, I have students who continue to struggle in school. Some don't make an effort to pass their classes because they don't feel respected by their teachers. Others have been kicked out of their homes, expected to survive on their own. I constantly worry about my students becoming teen parents. I dread hearing that one of our students was picked up and is pending deportation.
In spite of these scenarios, I love going to work each day. My students make me feel welcome. They worry when I'm gone. They make me laugh … and cry. They make me proud! I have been invited to quinceaneras, confirmations, baby showers, and graduation fiestas. My students have allowed me to be part of their lives, and for that I am especially grateful.
Girlie's Top Five Tips for Connecting with Students and Parents
1. Be honest. As hard as it is, you've got to present to students and parents the "big picture," and the consequences for their poor decisions.
2. Get involved. If you can, support students in their activities—attend their games, performances, etc. Be their cheerleader!
3. Have a sense of humor. Kids will know you're human and that you are not so uptight.
4. Always be respectful. Allow students and parents the opportunity to speak and validate what they have to say. It will help establish a positive rapport.
5. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Other teachers and staff have knowledge and experiences that can help you do a better job. Their wisdom is invaluable.

Swings and round abouts.. these players have all played each other 349309483904839048390483 times in the last 3 years... and they *can* play murali.
To be honest if we had won the last game vs SL i would not be rating our chances.. but having lost it i am more confident (Just watching at how these 2 teams have played each other in the last few years)

Yeah we do.. but we *can* play him and have in the past...
i wouldnt say we r "simply hopeless" against him...
Yeah Taylor and Flem have both looked like Vass's bunnies just recently.
I think the Kiwis get intimidated by Murali, their decision to bat 1st against Lankans was further proof of that.
On the other hand Aussies attack Murali and put him under pressure from the word go by using their feet, but all the Kiwi batsmen play Murali from within the crease which leads to trouble for the Kiwi batsmen.
Partyush, What makes you think mate that Sri Lanka would be able to beat New Zealand in Jamaica (because thats where 2nd v/s 3rd semi-finalist would have their semi-finals) , i would have rated Lankan chances a lot more on a slow and low surface at St. Lucia compared to Jamaica (which has been seamer friendly so far).

Mill Valley Film Festival preview
The 34th Mill Valley Film Festival is one of the top cinema celebrations in the country, and it starts this Thursday, October 6. KALW contributor Kevin Robinson sat down with Festival Director of Programming Zoe Elton to discuss some of the highlights.
* * *
ZOE ELTON: Well, some of the highlights – we're opening with two great films, "Jeff Who Lives At Home," by the Duplass brothers. The director's expected to be there. And possibly one or more of the actors will be there for opening night, and the co-opening film is Albert Nobb's new film with Glenn Close directed by Rodrigo Garcia, and both of them are expected to be there.
KEVIN ROBINSON: I noticed that Doug Nichol from San Anselmo, Jim Sugar from Mill Valley, Donald Goldmacher from Berkeley…
ELTON: Maureen Gosling, again a returning filmmaker. She's edited a film called "Smokin' Fish," which is, it's about literally, smoking fish. The work of Native Americans…
ROBINSON: Actually smoke fish, as in roll them up and smoke them?
ELTON: Well cut them up and smoke them, actually, yeah! (laughs)
ROBINSON: As in smokehouse.
ELTON: Yes.
ROBINSON: Smoked-flavored fish. (laughs) Maureen is from the Bay Area?
ELTON: Yeah, she's from the East Bay.
ROBINSON: There are other films that have Bay Area connections. I think one's called "Stage Left: A Story of Theater in San Francisco."
ELTON: Right, a story close to my heart, actually. Austin Forbord has made a film that is really about the incredibly vibrant and innovative theater that has been practiced and done in the Bay Area. I think "Stage Left" is showing us how important it is to put the left coast on the theatrical map.
ROBINSON: Zoe, another film is called "Voices from the Shadows." Now tell us about that.
ELTON: Well, this is a film that we've really wanted to get behind as a part of our active cinema program. Quite often we find that when an audience sees a film, they're inspired to do something. So active cinema is trying to connect the dots between the experience of the story of the film, and people who say, "Well, what can I do?" In this instance, the film is about myalgic encephalomyelitis, which is like an extreme form of chronic fatigue. It's a little confusing because they call it ME in England, where the film is from, and they call it different things here. But we decided to work with the filmmaker to show the film and to do a panel about the issues in the film. So we're going to have a panel that's including Dr. Jose Montoya from Stanford, who is kind of like a rockstar doctor in this area.
So we really want to see if a film can help make a difference. And that's why we're showing this film.
ROBINSON: Is there anything else you want to add?
ELTON: Well, thank you, and the closing night film – let me throw that one in because this film is dynamite. It's called "The Artist," and it's actually a silent film, but don't let that put you off. It's really one of the funniest, most engaging, heart-opening, wonderful films that I've seen with an amazing performance by a Jack Russell Terrier. Not sure that the Jack Russell will be with us, but the director Michel Hazanavicius will be there. The lead actors Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo will be there. So it's going to be a fabulous closing night.
Kevin Robinson is executive director of Medium Rare, which highlights the achievements of women and people of color in media.

Titans set to compete in Ruidoso
The Howard County Titans are on a roll. The elite 8-and-under traveling baseball squad comprised of kids from Big Spring, Coahoma and Forsan is currently ranked first in the West Texas division standings. They have won four out of six tournaments they have competed in this season and are preparing for a state vs. state, king of the hill-style competition being held Saturday in Ruidoso, N.M.Most of the young athletes also play Little League baseball, but there are differences between the Titans' league and Little League play according to team manager Angela Brooks."In Little League, you don't get to pick your team," Brooks said. "You have to try out for this team, and you have to be an elite player to make it. They play in the league too, So they are on the baseball field five days a week."The Titans have earned respect wherever they travel. Teams from larger cities are cautious when playing the Titans, who can compete with any other roster, but it wasn't like this last year."It was a rough year," Brooks added. "We didn't win too much. The boys have just come together. They decided to concentrate and hit the ball and focus on not making as many errors."If there is another key to the Titans' success, it could be their confidence.Outfielder Seth Brooks is proof of that. "I'm naturally good," Brooks said. He enjoys the traveling aspect too. "You get to go to new places and see the world," Brooks proclaimed.The "world" may be a bit smaller to a crew of seven and eight year olds, as the farthest they have ventured so far is Amarillo, but don't tell the Titans that.Chris Martinez, who coaches the Titans along with Freddie Oliveras and Manuel Cervantes enjoys working with the squad — as well as his son, Chris Martinez Jr., who plays on the team."What I like is bringing the boys up and teaching them to be better," Martinez explained. "Hopefully someday, some of them will get a chance to get a college scholarship to play ball. And just seeing their smiles when they win a championship is great. They are a different team now. It's nice to see how far they have come since the first time we saw them."According to Brooks, the Titans make quite a grand entrance. The team has a signature chant — adapted from the movie 'Remember the Titans' — a Walt Disney football film based on an actual football team in Virginia."It's the only team I know of that does it," Brooks added. "They line up and sing 'We are the Titans... the mighty, mighty Titans'. It's very disciplined. The crowd just gets quiet when they take the field chanting."The Titans' goal is to qualify for a World Series, which will likely be played in Las Cruces or Dallas. The team will play in at least four more tournaments through July. If donations are received that allow them to participate in more, they will.Brooks said any person or business willing to donate may do so by calling her at 213-3513. "If anyone donates they get a postcard with a picture of the team," she said. "I keep a very detailed description of the whole account and I will provide it to anyone who donates. I know where every dime goes."
